But her message to her 283 million followers on Instagram today drew a mixed response.
“Today, March 5, is the presidential primary in Tennessee and 16 other states and territories,” she wrote in a Story.
“I wanted to remind you guys to vote the people who most represent YOU into power. If you haven’t already, make a plan to vote today.
“Whether you’re in Tennessee or somewhere else in the US, check your polling place and times at vote.org.”
